I’m sure I echo the sentiments of many fans when I say “nothing beats a day at the ballpark.”
Since I always want to help fellow baseball lovers enjoy the greatest game man’s ever created, I offer the following ways to get a seat at the game without getting a seat in the poorhouse.
However, I offer no guarantees these won’t get you a seat at the local jail!
Here are 5 ways to sneak into a baseball game:
5. Tell the person at will call that Mr. (owner of the team) left a ticket for you
As the poor clerk fumbles around trying to find your non-existent tickets, casually mention how sorry you were about “Joey,” the last clerk who misplaced your tickets, and who, of course, is no longer with the team. This most likely won’t work, but it’s a solid starting point.
4. Find a disgruntled usher
Just make sure he/she is the same size – wearing a uniform three sizes too big/small might be a giveaway.
3. Make yourself part of a large group
However, I wouldn’t suggest trying to put on your old Boys Scout uniform.
2. Snag a stub from someone leaving the game early
It helps if you’re a good judge of character. You don’t want to go through all that and find yourself in the Bob Uecker seats.
1. Befriend a peanut vendor
Much like the usher gimmick, but the uniform issue is much less a problem. However, there might still be that pesky I.D. problem. Just remember, “three strikes and you’re out” isn’t just a baseball phrase.
P.S. Stop being cheap and buy a freaking ticket!
